Everything I tried before, said I required managed switch… ### 3/5 — I really want to like it *2026-04-02, version 2.5* If it works im sure itd be my only wol app. The access to shortcuts is awesome i can tell. Only issue is i cant even get it to work because the app isnt prompting the “allow access to local network option.” And i cant even manually toggle it in settings because its not an option for this app until it prompts. If this is a known bug i hope its fixed soon! ### 4/5 — It works well, but there is a bug on displaying the window on macOS Tahoe *2026-03-26, version 2.5* So long as you have properly configured your PC (not an easy task) this little app works well to remote start it. However there is an annoying bug on macOS Tahoe that prevents the app’s window from showing until you click the app icon (on the dock) for the 2nd time. Also the app has no contact information for the developer so the only way to leave feedback is via a review - which seems like review fishing to me… ### 4/5 — Does what it says, and does it well *2026-02-20, version 2.5* Works for me for multiple devices without fail. Very handy. I just wish there was a way to sync my config between multiple Apple devices. ### 4/5 — Group feature *2026-01-18, version 2.5* Excellent App, just need to add a group feature to trigger multiple machines with one click ### 5/5 — Works great out of the box. *2025-12-06, version 2.5* Was looking for a simple wake on lan app to handle my Windows 11 PC. This was simple, free and worked out of the box. Very impressed. ### 5/5 — Good *2025-11-23, version 2.5* The app works and looks nice, if you’re having trouble with existing shortcuts like I was try making a new one. ### 3/5 — Shortcuts *2025-11-16, version 2.3* Since the last update the app doesn’t work with shortcuts app. I can’t open it on Mac, while on iOS I can configure shortcuts but it work for a day; was perfect before the multi-device update ### 5/5 — Ok *2025-11-06, version 2.3* Works great. Latest update makes it so app opens when clicking shortcut instead of just running the shortcut. Can you restore that functionality? Thank you! ### 3/5 — How can I create a Siri action *2025-11-05, version 2.3* Almost great app but how can I create my own Siri word to initiate the iOS shortcut for this app so my device is woken up?? I am on iOS 26, developers please help. ### 5/5 — Most Responsive App on My Phone *2025-10-18, version 2.2* 10/10 no improvements needed. ### 5/5 — Great App *2025-10-12, version 2.2* I’ve tried to use other WOL apps but those I tried were buggy. I’ve been using this for over a year now using it every day and it does the job well ### 5/5 — Shortcut opening app *2025-10-11, version 2.1* Latest update(s) seem to be opening the app instead of just sending wake on lan. Update: needed to enable add to Siri after either update to iOS 26 or app update. Then it continues to perform as expected. ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-10-11, version 2.1* Wake Me Up has worked perfectly and allows me to use the wake on lan for my my Kodi media centre. The new interface is a big improvement. ### 5/5 — Works perfectly for a long time *2025-10-09, version 2.1* I’ve used this for years - works perfectly! ### 5/5 — Straight to the point. *2025-10-09, version 1.3* Love the app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Stupid app *2026-05-14, version 2.5* Doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-01-06, version 2.5* Just doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Broken *2025-11-02, version 2.2* Used to use this in shortcuts and it was amazing. However it now makes you acknowledge it and have the phone unlocked. I have switched off the ‘show when run’ but to no avail. ### 1/5 — Now broken *2025-10-10, version 2.1* IOS Shortcuts integration is now useless as it refuses to operate silently. ### 1/5 — Awful APP Don’t use or waste your time *2023-09-24, version 1.3* The instructions are in some foreign language that’s not even scribed on this world. And the App doesn’t work.. They have cheated by providing a URL to a completely different company for guidance…It’s an awful App ### 1/5 — Doesn't work (Macos Ventura) *2023-05-19, version 1.3* Doswn't work ### 1/5 — Dont bother *2023-01-17, version 1.3* Tried using it on multiple devices and it didnt work. ### 1/5 — Works only one time *2023-01-16, version 1.3* Did work the first time and then never again, very disappointed 😔 ### 1/5 — Terrible support *2023-01-10, version 1.3* No documentation or help setting up. Doesn’t work after going through a couple hours of entering different settings. Zero support is very frustrating. ### 1/5 — Contradicting *2022-07-26, version 1.3* It always starts everything wrong ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Works great for my NAS! *2026-06-14, version 2.5* Simple to setup and work on first try! ### 5/5 — Incredible *2026-05-19, version 2.5* No funny business. Just does what it says it does. I use screenshare to control computers remotely and got tired of roasting my cpu 24/7. So I opened a port on my router and now (thanks to this app) I can wake my computers from sleep while away from home. This review should end here because that’s all you need to know. Ps: super clean interface too ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-05-17, version 2.5* Great functionality and UI ### 5/5 — Just works *2026-05-10, version 2.5* It does exactly what it says; no in-app purchases, no fuss. Great app. ### 5/5 — The easiest setup and works as advertised! *2026-04-16, version 2.5* It took me literally less than a minute to set up and test. Easy to use interface with no fluff/junk. I highly recommend this app. ### 5/5 — good *2026-04-10, version 2.5* cheeseburger ### 5/5 — So useful *2026-03-13, version 2.5* I’ve been using a nas and to turn on my pc from my phone, amazing. ### 5/5 — Great app, also a suggestion. *2026-01-22, version 2.5* Very great app. Works perfectly. Clean ui and no ads pure wol. Although if you could add a feture where you ping the device everytime i open the app to see if its online or offline. ### 5/5 — Great WoL & WoW tool *2026-01-13, version 2.5* WOL is easy enough however this tool does a solid job of WOW in simple to use. ### 5/5 — Absolutely perfect *2025-12-29, version 2.5* Does exactly what it sets out to do. Easy to set up, easy to use, even works through VPNs. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
